My wife has full custody of her 8yo daughter. I'm currently stationed in Germany. The daughter's father was an American that PCS'd back to the states after a divorce. The court granted my wife full custody and he forfeited all rights of his daughter. Is there a way I can legally adopt if my wife has documentation of his forfeiture of rights? Please respond.

I'm sorry--I'm not familiar with German adoption laws. I would talk to a local solicitor/lawyer to find out what your options are.

I hate to answer your question with "I don't know", but I didn't want you to think your question was being ignored.
